Kiana, 19 years old, CA | 30 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Kiana is enrolled in the Cosmetology program at Paul Mitchell. After spending seven years in the foster care system, she is now navigating the transition to independence with a clear professional vision. Kiana is a specialist in her craft, focusing her energy on hair and aesthetics. She is looking for a community that provides the follow-through and resources she needs to master her mental health and graduate into a licensed professional. Kiana is highly proactive about her well-being; she is seeking consistent therapy and coping resources to manage her BPD and build a stable emotional foundation.

An iPad would provide Kiana with access to her cosmetology study materials, apps, study guides, and notes as she prepares for her state board exam. Her previous iPad broke, and her phone does not have enough storage to hold all the resources she needs to study effectively. Having a reliable device would enable Kiana to continue her studies, stay organized, and take a crucial final step toward becoming a licensed cosmetology professional.
